I recently had to do a small example of integrating the system I am currently working on into an asp.NET application. Not having a windows machine handy I though I would give Mono a try. Fortunately setting up a basic dev environment was really simple. NOTE: this is a very basic dev environment with no IDE or frameworks installed etc, it was perfect for what I needed but may not be appropriate for full blown development.
First install xsp2:
sudo apt-get install mono-xsp2
then:
mkdir -p ~/dotnet
cd dotnet
gedit Default.aspx
Then paste in the following:
<%
HelloWorldLabel.Text = "Hello, world!";
%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label runat="server" id="HelloWorldLabel"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
now save the file and go back to the terminal and run:
xsp2
*Note: this must be run in the directory where you created the file.
Now open a browser and visit:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/Default.aspx
And that's it. This is a very basic dev environment and is probably not suitable for a full blown application but it was perfect for my needs.
